Safe goods transport on passenger conveyors Regulations and requirements
• The right use of shopping trolleys is essential for safety reasons
Passenger conveyors connect different levels. They permit multiple use of the same area and together with special trolleys form a coordinated system.
Entry • Swiftly walk onto the conveyor with the trolley in a straight position. Entering with the trolley in a straight position ensures that the wheels are parallel to the direction of travel and become engaged on the conveyor. • If necessary a guide section (customer guidance systems) should be installed to ensure that the trolleys are in a straight position. • Ensure that all four wheels engage correctly. • Always hold the trolley firmly during transport.
The continuous availability, optimum function and regular inspection of this system guarantee reliable and troublefree transport of empty and full trolleys by your customers.
Passenger conveyor Only suitable passenger conveyors guarantee safe interaction of the passenger conveyor and special trolleys. • The conveyor design must comply with the European standard EN 115. • The speed should not exceed 0.5m/sec. • The inclination of the ramp combs at the beginning and end of the conveyor should not exceed 15°.
Exit • Walk swiftly from the conveyor with the trolley in a straight position. • The rear wheels automatically push the trolley to the ramp comb, and the customer has to push the trolley off the conveyor!

Open expansion joints and joints between the tiles in the market interior as well as unfavourable car park conditions mean that damage to the trolley wheels is pre-programmed. This in turn can have a negative effect on safe use on passenger conveyors.
